Conteúdo da vaga extraído em seções para revisão mais rápida.
You'll thrive as a Distributed Systems Engineer if you:
- obsess with crafting code that is fast, reliable and practical for the problem
- are known as the go-to person for tackling tough technical problems
- work hard and can build and ship fast
- can clearly explain complex technical concepts to others
- are a fast learner, frequently picking up new languages and tools
What You'll Do:
- Design and evolve the core control, data, and observability systems that power LiveKit Cloud
- Implement resilient, region-spanning architectures that degrade gracefully under partial failure
- Build libraries, protocols, and tooling that raise reliability and developer velocity across the org
- Diagnose and harden critical paths using metrics, tracing, testing, and real-world traffic insights
- Shape new platform capabilities across identity, scheduling, observability, and distributed state management
- Technologies include: Go, psrpc, gRPC, Raft, NATS, Kubernetes, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, ClickHouse
Who You Are:
- You have experience designing and delivering distributed systems in production
- You take ownership end-to-end - prototype, test, ship, monitor, and iterate
- You're comfortable with consensus, coordination, and the realities of distributed failure modes
- You think in terms of data flow, state, performance, and correctness, and you can reduce complex systems into understandable components
- You value clear communication, practical engineering, and building systems that others enjoy working with
Nice to haves
- Go fluency — if you haven't written Go yet, you've been meaning to
- Hands-on experience with pub/sub, RPC, or coordination systems (NATS, etcd, Raft, Paxos)
- Exposure to real-time or low-latency infrastructure — you know what microseconds feel like
- You've shipped observability tooling you'd actually want to use (tracing, metrics, at-scale logging)
- In those school group projects, you did most of the work (:sigh:)
We offer
- The opportunity to shape the brand of a fast-growing developer platform
- Collaboration with a small, senior team that deeply values craft and creativity
- Competitive salary and equity package
- Health, dental, and vision benefits
- Flexible vacation policy
